[diesel_mercedes] Color Sanding Old Paint

 

Does anyone have any experience with color sanding old paint on their Benz?

Mine is the original light metallic blue, with the hood, top and trunk with clear coat peeling.

I have recently been reading about this process, which starts with a 2000 grit sand paper to work through the layers of clear coat until you get to the original colored paint.

After that, they follow it up with rubbing compound and polish. Most use a buffer which I will not do. I am not sure how much I have to loose with the top of the car, as the clear coat is a real mess.

I have been big on the idea of keeping my car's paint totally original and would love for this process to have some merit.

Any thoughts?
